About this map

The boundary between Dougherty Co and Worth Co defines this agricultural landscape in the 1970s and 1980s, where small settlements like Acree and Red Rock anchor a network of rural churches and homesteads. Local social and spiritual life is centered on numerous country churches, including Salem Ch, Morning Star Ch, and Bethel Ch, many of which are accompanied by small burial grounds labeled simply as Cem.

The terrain is shaped by the drainage of Piney Woods Creek and Mill Creek, with the lowlands featuring localized wetland features such as Hudson Pond and Brushy Pond. Economic activity and transportation are focused along the primary east-west corridor, which passes the Sylvester Airport and Pineknoll Country Club. Unusual for many agricultural maps, this survey marks several firebreaks and a Sandpit near the western edge, indicating active land management and resource extraction in the region during this era.
